Bundling is to combined your products and service into a total package. By bundling you give added value to your customers and they will coming back to you.

The best example of bundling products is done by Microsoft which sells different applications in a bundle. You can buy home office suite that includes word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software or for more advance application, you could go for Microsoft Office Profesional. They have bundle their Internet Explorer & Windows operating system to have better advantage against their competitor and this got them in trouble with the regulators.

So, Bundle carefully .

If you have credit card service, hotels and an airline, then you could sell your products and services as a bundle. This has been done by AirAsia and it's subsidiaries.

Online giant Amazon.com started with selling books, then music store, followed with video store and now they have varied type products at Amazon.com and their sisters sites.

In telecommunication business, most of the companies bundle their product into different type of packages. You can buy different type of packages for your home or business needs. In Malaysia, you could have telephone service and Internet service from the same supplier.

For tour operators, they bundle their products and services into one nice package for their valued customers . They will charge you for your accommodation, transportation, food and additional charges into one complete package.

The act of bundling is not limited to the same category of products, if you are creative enough you could have endless possibility of bundling your products and services.

There a few types of widgets you can choose, but normally I will use Recommended Product Links. I sell products which relates to my article.

Then you need to select the product line and enter the keywords to find the right products. For example, for my KD Sri Inderapura article I select book as my Product Line and “aircraft carrier” as my keywords.

Then you need select the size of your display. Click Select This Size.

The bigger the better. I am using 468 x 336 size.

Then highlight the code and copy it.

Access Blogger and edit the article using Edit Html editor in Blogger.

Paste the code at the position that you want and save the article. That's all.

Now , you can start making money advertising Amazon product in your Blogger.

Now, you need to visit your friends Blog in order to have your icon/image/link shows up at your friends recent viewers widget.

I will show you one, then up to you how many friends you want to visit.

The more frequently you visit your friends the better. More potential traffic you will get.

Steps to generate traffic using BlogCatalog.com

Login to BlogCatalog.com. You will access the main page.

Then click Directory. Now you have list of blogs categorize accordingly.

Since, my blog is about travel. I want to find a blog about travel also. So I click Travel Directory. You can visit any blog you want not necessarily the same blog category.

Now, I want to find a blog with recent viewers widget. This one is tricky because some of our friends in BlogCatalog have not install the widget. If you found they didn't install the widget, then just leave a constructive comment in their blog with your website address stated.

How is my fee refund calculated?

If you issue a full refund, PayPal will refund all the fees. If you issue a partial payment refund, the fee refund will be calculated at the same percentage as the payment refund.

For example:

Your customer buys $100.00 USD of merchandise from you. The fees for this transaction total $3.25 USD ($2.90 USD of this is variable, $0.35 USD is the fixed transaction fee, which is not refunded for partial payment refunds).

You issue a partial refund on the transaction for $40.00 USD (40% of the original amount).

PayPal issues a refund of 40% of the total fees, which in this case would be $1.16 USD (40% of the variable portion of the fee).
